What is a home measurement or floorplan service?

A floorplan service is just what it sounds like: An appraiser measures the dimensions and square footage of a property, then draws a basic or highly detailed floorplan based on your needs. The appraiser's report and floorplan is a document that can be used to prove the precise Gross Living Area (GLA), the sum of all livable space, of your home. These services are helpful and sometimes necessary when disputing property taxes or selling a property.

How do floorplan services work?

During a floorplan service, a certified appraiser takes measurements of the home with a measuring tool — either a tape measure or laser measuring device. As they tour the home, they mark the layout of the rooms and other features, like closets, patios, and pantries. They might make a rough sketch of the property. Then, the appraiser develops a report and a more detailed floorplan showing the total living area and the overall layout of the house. The result is a document that can be used to prove certain specs of your property — like the Gross Living Area (GLA) — on tax documentation, home listings, and more.

When do I need a floorplan service?

Real estate taxes

Tax records often reflect the wrong area of a property because the values can come from various sources, and occasionally go unverified — meaning you may be taxed for more space than you actually own! Unless an appraiser has recently executed an evaluation on your property (after any renovation that might have affected square footage), you'll need one to perform a home measurement service before challenging what you're taxed. An appraiser will establish an accurate Gross Living Area (GLA) of your property so your taxes reflect your actual square footage — and you can stop overpaying.

Marketing a home or property

A floorplan service will ensure that you're paid a fair price for your property. Living space is one of the biggest elements potential buyers examine when purchasing a house — but since these values are frequently approximated rather than properly measured, your property listing might show less Gross Living Area (GLA) than it actually has. An inaccurate GLA could potentially decrease the selling price of your property as well as the number of potential buyers. The only reliable method of using an accurate GLA when listing your home is to refer to a previous appraisal or measurement service carried out by a certified appraiser (after any remodeling that might have affected square footage).

For real estate agents

To ensure that your client's home closes at a price that appropriately reflects true market value, we recommend requesting a measurement of the property. Your clients, and potential buyers, will be grateful for your scrupulousness, and you can be assured that the GLA on your client's listing is a true representation of their home. A measurement can also be an excellent marketing tactic to attract potential buyers because they can review the layout and attributes of the home before and after touring.
